Kingfisher nodded: "No one can be coaxed."
Lin Rong put on her clothes and got up, shook off Lu Shen's clenched hand, and went straight to Azhao's bedroom. She was sitting on the bed crying, and when she saw Lin Rong coming, she cried harder and harder, twitching.
Lin Rong felt heartbroken when he saw her, and stroked her head: "What's wrong? What dream scared us, A Zhao? Mom is here, don't be afraid!"
Ah Zhao grunted in grievance and lay on Lin Rong's shoulder, sobbing and saying: "Dad, is he missing? I heard others say that he is dead. What do you mean by dead? Is it because he will never be seen again? Dad? Are you lying? You clearly said you would see dad today?"
Lin Rong hugged her and coaxed her for a while, but Azhao began to cry more and more fiercely. He could only sigh: "Your father is outside. I'll ask him to come in, okay?"
Ah Zhao stopped crying and looked at Lin Rong with a puzzled face, not quite believing it: "Really?"
Lin Rong wiped her tears for her: "Really." He turned around and told Kingfisher: "I don't care what his intentions are. Azhao wants to see him now. Go and ask him to come in. If he doesn't come, he will be there for the rest of his life." Don’t even come.”
Jade Bird hummed and went out to deliver the message. Not long after, Lu Shen stepped in. Azhao couldn't believe it at first, so he sat in Lin Rong's arms and rubbed his eyes. When Lu Shen came up to him, he burst out crying and threw himself into Lu Shen's arms.
Lu Shen didn't say anything, and only gently stroked Azhao's back to comfort him. Ah Zhao asked Lu Shen to hold him in his arms for a while, and then he calmed down and asked several questions: "Dad, have you recovered from your illness? Do you still need to take medicine? Can I see you again tomorrow?"
Lu Shen sat there, taking the trouble to answer over and over again: "The disease has been cured, and there is no need to take medicine. I don't know tomorrow. From now on, Zhao can see his father whenever he wants?"
Ah Zhao raised his head and asked again: "Dad, what disease do you have?"
Lu Shen replied: "The wind is cold."
Azhao asked: "Is it the same as last time?"
Lu Shen replied: "Same."
Azhao turned over and sat up, then stretched out his little hand to touch Lu Shen's forehead: "Do you have a fever like me?"
Lu Shen shook his head: "No!"
Lin Rong originally thought that Ah Zhao would lose his temper, but he never thought that after crying for a short while, everything would be fine. His emotions came and went quickly, so he hugged Lu Shen's arm and asked questions.
Seeing Ah Zhao being so close to Lu Shen, Lin Rong couldn't help but feel sour. After all, he raised her with his own hands. In Ah Zhao's heart, neither his mother nor anyone else was as important as his father. If he had to choose between himself and Lu Shen, I'm afraid Azhao would definitely choose Lu Shen.
She felt sour in her heart and sat there silently, with a look on her face. But Azhao saw it. Like a roundworm in Lin Rong's belly, she stood up from Lu Shen's arms and went to rub Lin Rong's hair. , asked: "Mom, are you feeling uncomfortable too?"
Suddenly he saw the red marks on her neck after sex. He thought Lin Rong had apricot moss just like her a few days ago, so he went up to her and blew on it: "No wonder you feel uncomfortable. Does it hurt?"
Then he turned his head and called Lu Shen: "Dad, come and play for mother..."
Lu Shen was very thick-skinned, so he sat a little closer, stretched out his hand to touch the green hair hanging from Lin Rong's hair, exposed his smooth jade neck, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Rong smacked his hand away angrily, but the dog could crawl up the pole, but this time, it was impossible to sneak past him like he did in the past.
Although Ah Zhao was young, he was a smart kid. He raised his head, looked at Lu Shen, then at Lin Rong, and asked, "Did you quarrel?"
Lin Rong didn't want to say anything in front of Ah Zhao, so he just shook his head: "No!"
How could Ah Zhao believe it? She sat on the bed, held her chin and thought for a while, then reached out to pull Lu Shen's sleeve and whispered: "Dad, please admit your mistake quickly. You must admit your mistake today, otherwise you will suffer tomorrow's mistake." If mistakes pile up, there will be more.”
Her voice was very low, and she was close to Lu Shen's ear. However, it was late at night and everything was silent. The people in the palace, even the palace maid who was standing there, could hear clearly. They secretly raised their heads and listened to the masters. movement.
Lu Shen pursed his lips, turned to look at Lin Rong, his throat rolled, but he couldn't say a word. It was extremely difficult for him to say these boudoir words in front of others. Ah Zhao's little face wrinkled up in anxiety, wishing he could demonstrate it himself. Lin Rong's funny expression made her laugh out loud, and pulled her to lie down: "Okay, the time has come, it's time to go to bed."
Ah Zhao pointed at Lu Shen and pouted, "But Dad..."
Lin Rong came close to her ear and whispered something. Ah Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up. He pulled the quilt to cover her and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll sleep right away."
He said and immediately closed his eyes: "Okay, okay, I fell asleep."
Lin Rong smiled silently and went out. Marquis Jade Qin was at the door, with a worried look on his face: "Master, is he Your Majesty?"
Lin Rong shook his head, said nothing, and went to the clean room. After taking a bath, he did not go out. He was covered with a layer of gauze and lay lazily on the beauty couch in front of the window, looking at the blue moon outside the window. I was stunned, and after a while, I leaned on the window lattice and fell asleep.
When she slowly woke up with her arms numb from the pillow, she was already covered with a coat, and Lu Shen was sitting in front of her.
Seeing her waking up, Lu Shen hurriedly supported her and gently hugged her into his arms. At this time, there were only two people in the clean room, and he was finally able to admit his mistake: "Everything in the past was all my fault." , I don’t expect you to forgive me, I just ask you to give me a chance. It has been four years since Yongzhou parted ways, Rong Rong, do we have to waste another four years? "
Lin Rong lazily leaned on his shoulder and asked, "What kind of medicine have you given me these days?"
Lu Shen said nonchalantly: "It's medicine to soothe the nerves. The imperial doctor said most of your illnesses are due to this..." Halfway through, he really couldn't go on and simply kept silent.
Lin Rong raised his head, looked at him coldly, and asked: "Besides the night I was sick and today, on what other day did you come?"
Lu Shen still didn't answer or say anything, but his meaning was very clear. He obviously came every day.
Lin Rong snorted coldly, picked up the pillow, and threw it at Lu Shen. It hit him somewhere, and he heard him groan and take a breath.
Lin Rong didn't care about her, put on his clothes, settled down on his own, and went to the bedroom. Lu Shen sat there for a long time. When he came out, there was only a dim light on outside, and a kingfisher and two or three palace maidens were waiting there.
Kingfisher was holding a tray with fine rice paper and Hui ink in his hands. When he saw Lu Shen coming, he immediately knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
Lu Shen hummed, and was about to lift the curtain and go to bed, but Jing Qin stopped him: "Your Majesty, the empress has already gone to bed. She gave instructions before going to bed..."
She didn't dare to say it. She paused and then continued intermittently: "The queen said that since your majesty knows that he is wrong, he knows it in his heart but cannot say it out loud. Why not... write down where you went wrong one by one. It's easy to remember. , it is better to write it down with a bad pen, and you will never forget it.”
In this case, not to mention the two palace maids behind him, even King Jingqin thought it was a fantasy, and if it were the person next to him, even if he was not the most powerful person in the world, he would still be angry. What's more, in Jade Bird's eyes, the male master's temper is even more unruly. How can he stand the county master's words?
The three of them all lowered their heads and stared at the ground with a trembling expression. But I never thought that His Majesty, with such a temper, would rarely lose his temper. Instead, he took the pen and ink and waved his hand: "Go down."
Chapter 118
Lu Shen took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and did not go to the study room in the side hall. He just sat cross-legged on the beauty couch in front of the bed. He found another table and used a copper paperweight to hold down the snow-white Canglang paper.
After sitting there for a long time, I barely picked up the pen and dipped in ink and wrote half a page. Then I couldn't write any more, so I put the pen and ink aside and sat there worrying.
But he saw Kingfisher coming from outside, holding a small lamp in his hand and saying anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's too dark in this hall, so we'd better go to the side hall to write."
Just because Lu Shen was tolerant to Lin, it didn't mean he was so good-tempered towards others. Hearing this, he looked at Kingfisher with a sullen face. Although he didn't say anything, the emperor's anger made Kingfisher frightened and immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the empress said she can't sleep with the light on. Please go to the study."
As soon as these words came out, the fierce pressure was immediately withdrawn, and he said very dryly: "Oh, I understand."
He said he understood, but he didn't intend to get up and go out immediately. He just waved his hand, ordered Kingfisher to step back and blew out the lamp. The room was suddenly silent and dark, with only a little cool moonlight coming through the window.
Lu Shen raised his head and looked at the bed tent, only to see a blurry lying figure reflected on the light soft tent with dark patterns of Zhilan. He stared blankly for an unknown amount of time when he suddenly heard a cough from inside and a snow wrist stretched out from the tent.
He stood up immediately, poured some tea, quietly carried it over, and sat on the edge of the bed.
Lin Rong took the tea cup and took a drink. Suddenly he saw the figure sitting on the edge of the bed, poured another cup and handed it over: "Do you want more?"
When Lin Rong saw the lights went out before, he thought Lu Shen had already gone out. He thought the person bringing tea was Kingfisher. When he heard him talking, he realized it was Lu Shen, but she glanced at him lightly, not unlike him. say.
Lu Shen had no choice but to sit there silently, shouting for a long time, and then he heard Lin Rong ask him: "Have you finished writing?"
Lu Shen was silent and said in an erratic tone: "After writing half a page, you said the light was too bright and you couldn't sleep, so you turned off the light..."
Lin Rong hummed, took out the fire folding box from the small drawer in the bed, and lit the small three-inch glazed lamp. A small piece of dim yellow light suddenly appeared in the tent.
She slowly covered the glass lamp, and both of them were tinged with a light warmth. Her tone was very calm: "Then what are you going to do now? Imprison me in this palace for the rest of my life? What if I still If you don't want to, just feed me tranquilizers every day and give birth to children one after another until I lose my temper and completely surrender to you? Or, one day when you get tired of it, send me to spend my time in the cold palace. For the rest of your life?”
There was no emotion in these words, as if they were talking about something irrelevant to others. There were no ups and downs, no resentment or sighs, but it was like an ice pick under the eaves of a winter house piercing his heart, making him feel cold and painful. The pain is not a description, it is real pain.
Lu Shen covered his chest to avoid being discouraged, and after a while he replied calmly: "I can't bear to leave. I don't want to ask you to leave, and I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable."
Lin Rong said calmly: "That's difficult. The pain you have brought me is far greater than the joy. Now that I can talk to you calmly, I have a lot of patience."
Lu Shen asked stubbornly: "Isn't there still time to be happy?"
Lin Rong nodded. She did not hide her heart and said: "Yes, there is a time for happiness. Although I want to deny it, I don't know where it comes from. When I treat you, there is an indescribable feeling. The feeling is there. But that little bit of joy and feeling is like the dew in the morning..."
She shook her head and changed her metaphor: "It's like a small flower hidden in a thorn bush. If you want to smell the fragrance of the flower, you have to lie down on the thorn bush and prick yourself all over. What's more important is that , there is a large field of gorgeous mountain flowers outside the thorn bush, and there are many things that make me happy. You said that we have wasted four years, but it is not true. Among the people, although they have suffered a lot and are poorer, I It is indeed happier.”
Lu Shen was silent and asked her, "Isn't it okay to shave the thorns cleanly?"
Lin Rong lowered his head and said nothing, and asked for a long time: "Do you believe this?" After saying that, he sighed slightly: "Actually, it has nothing to do with you. Whether it is good or bad, whether I change it or not, I will not change it after all. I like this place and just want to be far away from the world. A secluded mountain village with few contacts with outsiders is the best place."
Lu Shen didn't say anything. He obviously didn't have much confidence in himself. He remained silent for a long time and said, "It would be great if I could do it all over again. One step was wrong and the other was wrong."
When Lin Rong heard this, he laughed softly, stretched out a hand to fiddle with the five bat palace ears hanging by the bed, and said leisurely: "If I could do it all over again... If I could do it all over again, I would definitely not be there again. If you rush on a rainy day and return a few days later, you won’t..."
Then she would not die in the line of duty, and she would not come here. She dreamed of getting off that car countless times, dreamed of arriving at her destination safely countless times, dreamed of herself sitting in the office in a hurry, countless times, Unfortunately, the dream was always in vain when she woke up, leaving her depressed throughout her life.
She tilted her head slightly and leaned lightly against the bed tent. She became visibly depressed, and her eyes stared emptyly ahead, as if she had fallen into some kind of void.
Lu Shen called her: "Rong Rong."
He slowly leaned over and saw that she was not disgusted. She was so close that they could hear their breathing. As long as he lowered his head slightly, his lips would gently cover her temples and wrap his arms around her. His tone was unexpected. Somewhat pitiful: "I was wrong, let's make peace!"
It was okay that he didn't speak, but when he spoke, the tip of Lin Rong's nose felt sore, and two lines of tears welled up. She stared blankly at Lu Shen, her tearful eyes blurred: "I want to go home, I really want to go back."
Home? Lu Shen was not a fool after all. He had investigated the strange things in the past one by one in detail, but he was conceited and didn't take it to heart. When he saw Lin Rong's expression, he immediately recalled that time in the house. When it comes to Qian Dang Cliff, she is very good at water. She is not seeking death. There are many Taoist priests here and they have set up formations. It seems like she is in some kind of dojo.
Although he didn't quite understand the reason, he still followed her words and said, "Ah Zhao and I are here. Let's go home with you, okay?"
Lin Rong's tears became even louder: "There is no way, how can we go back without a way? If you can't go back, you will never go back..."
Lu Shen gently hugged her in his arms and reached out to caress her back: "Is there any king in the world? If you want to go home, you can even dig through Mount Tai, let alone find a way out? I'll call the workers tomorrow. The ministry has brought a map of Kantu, and you can point it out. Wherever you point it, we will build the road there. When the road is completed, you can go back whenever you want."
Lin Rong closed her eyes and leaned lightly on Lu Shen's shoulder. It seemed as if a very wide bluestone road really appeared in front of her eyes. She was holding Azhao in her arms as she sat in a large carriage. On the way, she encountered a burst of white light. The antique white The green walls and tiles suddenly turned into familiar high-rise buildings. His parents stood at the door with smiles and smiles. Azhao rushed towards him, calling his grandparents with his milk whistling...
Lu Shen saw her leaning lightly in his arms. Although there were still tears on her cheeks, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her tear-filled eyes: "Ah Zhao and I, Let's go back together with you, okay?"
Lin Rong immediately got out of that melancholy mood, and the illusory illusion was immediately shattered. Lin Rong gritted his teeth and punched him twice in the chest angrily: "Lu Shen, are you annoyed?" Will he die if he doesn't move his hands or feet?
Lu Shen groaned, covering his chest and frowning. It took him a while to recover. When he put his hand down, it was actually stained with blood.
The painful look didn't look like he was pretending. Lin Rong asked him: "What's wrong? Don't tell me that the arrow wound on your chest hasn't healed yet?" When we were having fun the first two times, one was sick and the other was drunk. It was dark inside the curtain, so she didn't notice it. Even if she did, she couldn't see clearly. She only vaguely remembered that it was indeed bandaged.
Lu Shen didn't say anything, just turned his palm upwards. The trace of blood on his palm was very conspicuous in the dim candlelight.
Lin Rong glared at him, untied his clothes, slowly uncovered the bleeding white cloth, and saw that the wound on his chest had opened again. He opened the curtain and called, "Who is on duty outside, please take the medicine." Bring the box."
Not long after, Kingfisher brought the medicine box in, fetched some water and put it aside, and asked, "Master, do you want the imperial doctor to come over and wait in the back hall?"
Before Lin Rong could say anything, Lu Shen waved his hand and asked Kingfisher to retreat: "Don't let them know yet."
Kingfisher only looked at Lin Rong and saw her nodding: "Go and rest, don't stay up all night, and sleep more tomorrow."
Kingfisher then retreated.
Lin Rong twisted the handkerchief, wiped it for him, and then applied medicine and bandage. It was already his first day. Although there was no infection or suppuration, it was healing very slowly. His tone was very bad: "I think you really don't want to die." Well, if this wound is not healed well, it will kill someone?"
Lu Shen listened to her scolding her while bandaging, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile: "I know."
Lin Rong snorted coldly: "You know, you still don't lie down well, but you still come to my place every night, give me medicine, and..."
Lu Shen sensed something was wrong and immediately argued: "The time you were sick, you held my jade belt and refused to let me go. Today, when I was drunk, I also asked you. Although you were a little confused, you agreed. Yes. At best, it’s just smooth sailing..."
Lin Rong told him that he was so angry that stars appeared in his eyes, and he said bitterly: "Get out of here, get out of here right away."
Unconsciously, he said the wrong thing again. Lu Shen had no choice but to stand up. Just as he was hesitating, the medicine bottles, trays, and sterilizing wine were all thrown out of the tent with a sudden crackling sound.
